Lima syndrome

I clicked on Li Enna's dialog box and she sent me a screenshot of a status posted by Xu Shiyuan. The photo in the status was clearly Bai Zhiyan!

He looked at Bai Zhiyan, who was sitting by the river, looking at the snow with his head slightly tilted, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, looking calm and comfortable.

The caption next to the photo reads, "This year's first snow, by the river with you."

What an ambiguous text, how is it different from an ordinary couple going out on a date! He was absolutely sure that Xu Shiyuan did it on purpose.

Without thinking, Che Jingcan immediately called Bai Zhiyan.

On the other side, Bai Zhiyan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the car, saw the incoming call and hung up with a light click, but the other end was still relentless and the phone kept ringing.

Xu Shiyuan saw his actions, lowered his eyes and raised his lips slightly. He was so anxious, it seemed that Che Jingcan had already seen it.

Bai Zhiyan was extremely annoyed. He thought that even if he didn't answer his call now, Che Jingcan would have plenty of ways to find him, so he might as well listen to what he had to say first.

"Hello? What can I do for you?"

Hearing the impatience in Bai Zhiyan's tone, Che Jingcan almost tensed up his flesh and blood to prevent himself from losing control of his emotions.

"Bai Zhiyan, let me ask you, where did you go with Xu Shiyuan? What's the matter with the photo he sent?"

"Tsk." It turned out that the photo was the cause of the trouble. Bai Zhiyan glanced sideways at Xu Shiyuan who was looking at the scenery out of the car window.

"We just came to Incheon to participate in the competition. I have never been to the Han River before, and I just went to take a look at the Han River. What's there to ask?"

Bai Zhiyan wanted to hang up the phone, but Che Jingcan's roar came out of the receiver, "I don't care if you guys are just here for fun. Just look at what he sent. I don't believe it's that simple!"

"It's their freedom to post whatever they want, and it has nothing to do with you."

Bai Zhiyan was annoyed by his noise. Although he had thought before that Che Jingcan might go crazy after seeing the updates posted by Xu Shiyuan, he would still be too tired to deal with it when the time really came.

"Besides, this doesn't mean anything."

Che Jingcan was almost mad at his indifferent attitude. It was the first snow! Not only was he unable to accompany Bai Zhiyan on the first snow of the year, but he was not with him even when Bai Zhiyan went to the Han River for the first time. How could he not go crazy?

"I clearly told you before that he had bad intentions towards you and that he looked at you in a strange way. Why didn't you listen to me and went out with him?"

Xu Shiyuan had no interest in eavesdropping on phone calls, but Che Jingcan's voice was too loud. He and Bai Zhiyan were sitting in the back seat of the car, so he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Che Jingcan, who was shouting, suddenly thought of something, and his tone became cold and fierce when he spoke, "Bai Zhiyan, are you living together outside? Have you two lived in the same room? Have you ever changed clothes in front of him? Has he ever touched you?"

"What do you mean we don't share a room? We didn't do anything! Do you think everyone is like you? Can you please stop thinking about such weird things?"

The series of questions made Bai Zhiyan feel overwhelmed. He really admired Che Jingcan's train of thought. Just a photo could make him imagine so many things.

"He dares!" Che Jingcan's knuckles turned white because of the force he used to hold the phone, and his breathing became rapid. "If this bitch dares to touch you, I will kill him!"

The bitch he was talking about was right next to Bai Zhiyan, listening to his vulgar words coming into his ears through the receiver of the cell phone.

Xu Shiyuan turned a blind eye to his disgusting dirty words because he had just learned from Bai Zhiyan about his attitude and thoughts towards Che Jingcan. It was not worth his anger and worry for a man who was already doomed to fail.

At this point, Bai Zhiyan couldn't listen any longer, "Master, if you still want to go crazy, go find someone else. I don't have time to listen to your useless words."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation. Che Jingcan, who was watching the call end, became angry with red eyes. A strong sense of rage surged into his brain. He couldn't calm himself down and suddenly threw the phone in his hand against the wall.

"Kill him, Xu Shiyuan, that bastard, I want to kill him!"

The enraged Che Jingcan's eyes turned bloodshot and his body trembled uncontrollably. He smashed his cell phone and the glass fragments lightly scratched his face, leaving a bright and shocking scar on his face that was distorted by anger.

Che Jingcan's reason was gradually devoured by anger, and he could not accept the intimate behavior between Bai Zhiyan and Xu Shiyuan. He did not attack Xu Shiyuan because he was afraid that Bai Zhiyan would use violence against him, but now his tolerance has reached the limit, and he wants to kill Xu Shiyuan directly and cut him into pieces!

He didn't care about praying now. He had to go to Incheon now, capture Bai Zhiyan, and send Xu Shiyuan to see the messenger of the underworld.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest young master of the Che family? Why does he look so angry?"

Che Jingcan was still angry. When he heard the sarcastic voice, he glared over with sharp eyes, wanting to see which guy was looking for death.

"Who are you? How dare you sneer at me? Are you tired of living?"

The man sneered, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, and slowly approached him.

"Who am I? Master Che is really forgetful. We clearly met in the hospital before, right?"

"Hospital?"

Che Jingcan looked at the extremely aggressive face in front of him, but he couldn't remember when he had seen it before.

"That's right. How can we, poor fellows from the slums, deserve to be remembered by you?"

His words were full of malice, and his eyes were filled with sharp murderous intent. Che Jingcan wondered if it was someone who had fought with his younger brother before who came here for revenge.

"What do you want to do? If you want money, name your price. If you want a fight, I don't have time for you. Get out of here before I lose my temper."

"It's good to be a kid from a rich family. No matter what happens, you can always use money to settle it."

The matter between Bai Zhiyan and Xu Shiyuan has not been clarified yet, and Che Jingcan really doesn't have the patience to beat around the bush with him.

"If you insist on finding fault, then I don't mind sending you to the hospital again."

"You are so arrogant! When you sent my brother to the hospital, did you say the same thing to him?"

"Your brother?"

Che Jingcan frowned, not knowing how another person was involved.

"My poor brother is still lying in the hospital bed, but you are free and easy."

"I don't give a fuck about whether you are my brother or not. Since you insist on provoking me, I will reunite you two."

Che Jingcan didn't have time to argue with him, so he raised his fist and hit Jin Zaihuan. Jin Zaihuan didn't fight back. After taking a few punches, he stepped back slightly and kept a distance from him.

The bodyguard who had been following Che Jingcan hurried over after hearing the noise.

"Che Jingcan, don't even think about having an easy time!"

Kim Jae-hwan avoided the bodyguards and rushed straight to Che Kyung-chan. When Che Kyung-chan wanted to raise his fist again, a sharp knife slipped out from his sleeve, catching everyone off guard. The sharp blade cut through Che Kyung-chan's coat, and blood flowed out, soaking his light-colored down jacket, leaving a bright red mark.

Che Jingcan stared at him in disbelief with his eyes wide open, "Um - you -"

Kim Jae-hwan's eyes were full of madness. He felt relieved when he saw Che Kyung-chan's face twisted in pain. He smiled and stabbed the knife a little deeper.

"Cha Jingcan, you owe my brother this."

When the bodyguards stepped forward and pulled him apart, Kim Jae-hwan was still smiling. His smile was so terrifying that it made people tremble. When the blood on his hands dropped onto the snow, red flowers bloomed on the white ground.

"Che Jingcan, people like you will not have a good ending!"

But at this time, Che Jingcan also lost the ability to think. Cold sweat was flowing down his forehead because of the pain. He could hardly stand while covering the bleeding wound. When the bodyguard helped him to call an ambulance, what he thought of in his mind was the scene of Bai Zhiyan and Xu Shiyuan sitting together by the Han River watching the snow.

"Can't……"

On the way to the hospital, Che Jingcan felt dizzy and could clearly feel the pain in his abdomen. His eyes were dark and he seemed to be in a trance.

He couldn't tell whether this was reality or an illusion, and could only grope forward in the darkness. Suddenly, a light appeared in front of him, and he walked towards the light, only to see something even more terrifying.

He saw Bai Zhiyan kneeling at his feet with a bruised face and nose. Many people surrounded him and asked him to bark like a dog. Some were even trying to strip off his clothes.

"stop!"

Che Jingcan yelled and rushed over to stop them, but he was blocked by an invisible barrier that he could not cross no matter how hard he hit.

So he watched with his own eyes as Bai Zhiyan suffered a series of humiliations that were almost cruel.

Many people punched and kicked him, stripped off his clothes and made him crawl on the ground naked. The bruises and scars on his body were clearly visible, and his originally fair and soft skin was covered with hideous and terrible wounds.

He knelt on the ground like this. Che Jingcan couldn't see his face, and wondered if his pale and tender little face was filled with tears at this moment.

"Zhiyan! Bai Zhiyan!"

Che Jingcan felt like his voice was going to become hoarse, but he still couldn't make any sound.

"Don't you fucking touch him! Let him go, you bastards!"

But the person on the other side couldn't see or hear his voice, he could only watch Bai Zhiyan being humiliated.

He placed his hopes on the person opposite him, but Che Jingcan just sat on the chair and watched the group of people torturing Bai Zhiyan without taking any action.

"Shit, what the hell are you doing!"

He yelled and slammed the barrier, trying to wake up the indifferent Che Jingcan.

But "Che Jingcan" just sat there as if it had nothing to do with him, watching everything happening in front of him with an almost indifferent look, and he didn't hesitate to give Bai Zhiyan a look.

Che Jingcan's eardrums were about to be pierced by the bullies' laughter, but he still didn't hear Bai Zhiyan's voice at half past one.

"Are you fucking mentally retarded? Look who that is, tell them to stop!"

His eyes were bloodshot and he roared heartbreakingly, but his voice could not be heard.

"Zhiyan! Bai Zhiyan!"

Suddenly, the scene over there froze for a moment, as if someone had pressed the pause button. Everyone stood still, except Bai Zhiyan, who was lying on the ground sobbing quietly.

"Ji Yan, Zhi Yan, don't cry—"

He couldn't see Bai Zhiyan's expression clearly, but he knew he must be in pain and scared now.

Che Jingcan on the opposite side finally moved. He looked up and met Che Jingcan's eyes.

Obviously this person is himself, but Che Jingcan can't understand the expression on his face. Heartache and anger are intertwined, and unwillingness and hatred are entangled. Even Che Jingcan himself has never seen the expression on his face. Why would he show such a complicated and chaotic expression?

Che Jingcan had a splitting headache and his whole body was aching, especially his heart. He looked at Che Jingcan's face opposite him which gradually became calm, as if he had transplanted all his emotional pain onto him.

"Are you in pain?"

He heard that "Che Jingcan" said to him.

"What do you mean?"

"It's okay to be miserable."

"Che Jingcan's" face began to change constantly the moment he spoke, and finally turned into Bai Zhiyan's appearance.

"I just want you to suffer, and it's best if you can feel my pain."

He had never seen Bai Zhiyan so ruthless and fierce. He didn't know where the overwhelming hatred in his eyes came from, and why those misty and deep eyes contained so many emotions that he couldn't understand.

Just after he finished speaking, Che Jingcan felt as if his body was being ripped open, his internal organs falling out one by one, and finally a sharp knife cut his chest, and he could even see his beating heart.

Bai Zhiyan, who was standing opposite him with a knife in his hand, wiped the tears from his face and smiled sadly.

"Che Jingcan, your sincerity is worthless to me."

Finally, he stabbed his heart with a knife. The intense pain almost made Che Jingcan faint, but he still held on and grabbed Bai Zhiyan's scarred arm, kneeling on the ground and looking up to ask him.

"Why, why..."

That morning, when the light of dawn was dim and not warm or bright enough, shining on you and me, I held your hand and placed it on my heart.

Zhiyan, I clearly told you that that is the real sun.

"Why? You ask me why?"

Bai Zhiyan looked at Che Jingcan who was kneeling at his feet and spoke in a cold voice.

"I have asked countless times why, why did you slander me, why did you bully me, and even why was I born with such blood."

Che Jingcan gasped and used his last bit of strength to look up at Bai Zhiyan. There was pain and sadness on his face that he had never seen before.

"You know what? It's a very scary thing for a person to start looking back on the past and looking back on the pain and asking why, why on earth did I have to go through all this, why it was me and not someone else. I can't find the answer, no one can answer me."

“Zhiyan…”

"Cha Kyung-chan, no one easily escapes the web of suffering woven by fate, and this is what you deserve."
